I was thinking of making an alternate icon for myself to replace "the
hat on the panel". Maybe something slightly different to reflect fedora.
I was considering making the hat's brim more angular and putting a
feather in the black band.
WHat does everyone think about this?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to propose a change in the icon of the "Show Desktop Button" of gnome.
Like some other persons, i think is not "compatible" with the themes of fedora, if possible a more bluecurve style icon would be excellent.
Thanks.

I'm guessing this is appropriate here, since I guess it qualifies as an
"artwork" question.
Would it be reasonable to publish a standard CD artwork and jewel case
insert for Fedora?
Ideally one that fully complies with Red Hat's trademark guidelines for
using the Fedora name.
I've read the guidelines several times, and I'm not convinced that I
understand them fully.
I'm thinking that people that want to do the right thing can then meet
the guidelines by simply using the provided labels.
If the usage guidelines could include a pointer to the "preferred"
artwork, better still.

Why do we have this [Fedora-Desktop-List] tag on all emails?
it consumes space and is unneeded. I now have to devote loads of space
to the subject field :/
As for the excuse that some need it to filter, that's not really a
reason, as there are at least two other things they can filter on, and
it's easy in clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Evolution or even
procmail/mutt.
The ONLY client not able to do this is MS Outlook in my experience.

Hello Again,
I have now been told by every fedora mailling list that this is indeed
the list to ask this question.
I can understand if most of you don't any idea how to do this, but the
person who makes the changes for Fedora should be on this list and if
he, or any one else knows how, please as least give me a bigger hint
than RTFM. After reading at least 50 of them, two versions of the gnome
administration manual (2.2 and 2.4), along with the user manuals that go
with them, and so much code and changelogs that I'm rather sick of
them. I'd like to sum it all up from one of the Austin Power movies.

What file, or set of files, do you need to modify, to change the default
gnome-panel buttons?
By default I mean the buttons that a newly created user would see.

Anyone heard any more on this announcement at
http://www.fedora.info/fedora.htm?
Nutshell is Cornell University and University of Virginia developed an
open-source digital repository management system under the name Fedora,
and released it in May 2003.
The announcement says "The Cornell and Virginia teams have taken a
number of steps to try to work with Red Hat regarding use of the name
Fedora™. At this date, Red Hat has refused our request to withdraw its
trademark applications and reverse its claims of usage restrictions on
the name. Cornell University and the University of Virginia are now
considering various legal options in response to Red Hat’s actions. "

Hello,
Alot of my users keep complaining whenever they get a new account on a box
that the first thing they do is add the terminal button to their panel. These
complaints came from both KDE and Gnome users.
I was able to change the default buttons on KDE by changing
/usr/share/config/kickerrc
But try as I might, I cannot find the file, or set of files, to change the
default set of buttons that you get on the gnome-panel.
So, in short, what file, or set of files, do you need to modify, to change the
default gnome-panel buttons?
By default I mean the buttons that a newly created user would see.
Thanks
Troy Dawson

Hi,
I have some comments/suggestions about the current gnome desktop in
Fedora. (Feel free to burn the comments/suggestions in flames ;-) )
* I find the standard gnome panel at the bottom of the screen very
clunky, because it fills up a large part of the screen. (I know I can
auto hide it or make it smaller.) I find smaller panel (or 2 panels)
like they use in ximian desktop See:
http://www.ximian.com/images/screenshots/desktop/browsing-windows-network...
looking much more modern
* I find the menus Preferences, System Settings and System tools quite
confusing. They contain many similar menu items and if you would make a
quiz show in which of the three a certain setting should be set, I think
the average user would not do that well.
I'd like to suggest to have one "Configuration" (or whatever what you
want to call it) menu, where you have two sections: user preferences
(which sets options for the current user that is logged in) and system
preferences (for setting system wide settings for which you need to be
or become root)
